Right now my NAS is 2x12TB disks in RAID-1. It's full and I'm constantly under space pressure; primary usage is the on-site backups for 3 kid computers + 2 computers each for my wife and me.
I separately have about 5TB of virtual machines, plus a few other terabytes of miscellaneous data.
Consolidating most of this with enough headroom that I don't need to worry about storage too much is appealing. Currently thinking tiered storage, with 3x24TB drives in a RAID-10 for 36TB of capacity plus a mirror of 2x2TB SSD in front of it (so ~3% cached plus really good write performance) is appealing.
